About Henry Hill School

Henry Hill School is a co-educational contributing school in Napier, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 275 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 539. The school has been open since 1965.

With 275 students on roll, Henry Hill School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 58% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 539, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 76 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 53.4% and Pasifika at 33.6%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.13 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
